In the process of creating project stereotypes the class came together and created some pretty impressive ideas. What is making this process so successful is the class’ ability to be open to ideas. We spent a few days in class just expressing ideas and opinions. We have a small, talented group which made this process possible. Many students, excluding myself are educated in how to use Photoshop. We wouldn’t have been able to make these ads without the effects of Photoshop. The way I contributed to the project was to be coordinator. I helped to track down our models and to find a time for us to shoot them. During the photo shoot I helped to come up with ideas for the models positions.
During the project we did have some difficulties. With a class consisting of so many opinions and different out looks, we had to come up with many compromises. We juggled many ideas from backgrounds, poses, color pallets, fonts, and many other details. With many pairs of eyes, our project should be close to perfection in the end. We wanted to look professional, our goal was for the project to not look as if a typical high school student created this. The class soon realized that simplicity and a simple statement can speak millions to others.
I am excited to see the impact and the reaction we will get from students and others. This isn’t a usual high school project. We are doing more than just getting a grade and writing a paper. Through project stereotypes, we are able to reach out and to get others thinking, and to hopefully positively affect others. This isn’t an everyday class, and this isn’t an everyday project, which makes this process so special.
